Taxonomy and evolution of gibbons

Abstract

Because the fossil history of gib-bons is virtually unknown,1,2 gibbon evolution can only be reconstructed from a comparative analysis of evolu-tionarily informative characteristics of modern gibbons and, to some de-gree, of related primate taxa that can be used as outgroups. Several studies have tried to recon-struct gibbon phylogeny, using fur coloration, morphological, vocal, or molecular data.3–10 Each study pro-duced a different result. As a conse-quence, the relationships among the various hylobatids are under debate,
